Have you ever wondered what the markings on a shipping container you follow on the highway or see in your warehouse mean? 🤔
Each mark plays a crucial role!
Here’s a glimpse into their significance:
🔹Container Number: main marking on the door, consisting of 4 letters and 7 numbers as per ISO6346:1995(E).
🔹Check Digit: validates the identification sequence.
🔹Container Owner/Lessor: the company that owns or operates the container (either a shipping company or a leasing firm).
🔹Max Gross: weight and dimensions by volume of the container.
🔹ISO Code: a unique code to avoid ambiguity in container naming.
These markings guarantee our global supply chain’s traceability, safety and efficiency.
Every detail matters in ensuring the monitoring and security of the cargo! 📦🔐
